The Lies of Suicide. What does the Bible say about suicide? Is it sin? Can someone who takes his own life be a Christian? Will he or she still go to heaven?  

In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast, Dr. Richard Caldwell and special guest Stuart Sanders explain that, in God’s eyes, the act of suicide is nothing short of murder. It’s not the fruit of a life that submits to God; rather, it’s what happens when one allows himself to listen to the hateful lies of Satan. Dr. Caldwell and Stuart Sanders discuss how even genuine Christians have moments of failure; many deal with depression, and some may even resort to taking their own lives. When trying to answer the question about whether or not the individual is in heaven, it’s important to look at the person’s life as a whole, rather than just at one moment of failure.

So how can we counsel someone who is considering suicide? What hope do we have to give? How do we comfort someone who has lost a loved one in this way? These questions and more are addressed in this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast, as Dr. Richard Caldwell and Stuart Sanders take us to God’s Word.
